I caught up with Christofer "Helblinde" Nilsson after his second win against Birmingham Salvo which puts Reason through to the Grand Final.

Hey Chris, congratulations on second win against Salvo, how did it feel to beat them even more comprehensively?

It felt really good, we know we have a really good train setup and tactics. We were really confident going into the game, we knew we would beat them as we had one before on the same map.

You could face, Ebuyer, Mint or Salvo again next, who would be the ideal opponent?

I would love to play salvo or ebuyer again, we know we can beat them if we play our A-game. Deep in my heart I hope Ebuyer get to the finals as we love all of them.

You seem to be having a few issuesd with de_nuke, does it worry you that it's the second map in the final?

Of course it worries us, or at least me. It's one of our weaker maps. We really think we'll win the first map, inferno, as it's one of our best maps. We only need one to win so lets make it easy for ourselves.

You were up late last night playing, has the lack of sleep affected your team?

Obviously not since we played really well, but it would have been nice to get a few more hours sleep, it's really hard when fetish jumps on top of you when you're falling asleep, and Dallow snores.

Do you feel the organization today by the IG staff is better than it was yesterday?

Yeah, defenitely, it's been improving alot and there's been almost no delays, and we're quite happy with it. All the 1.6 teams are almost done, but it's still much better.

Tell us the best moments so far at IG5, inside and outside the game.

Inside the game it was beating ebuyer in the third overtime, it was a really close game and they played really well. Outside of the game it must have been Henrik posing in his underwear and socks when we were trying to sleep.

How does this team's LAN spirit compares to other teams you and giftig have been in?

This is the definitely the best team I've been in so far, the spirit we have is not matched by any team.

You are the loudest player here by a long, long way. What goes through your head when you're screaming and how have you not lost your voice yet?

I really don't think at all when I scream. It makes me focus more and it increases me performance ingame, I have to scream at all times. I'm quite used to screaming on LAN, so I guess my voice can tolerate it, after the finals I probably can't speak for a few days.

Beans?

NO.

Thanks for your time, good luck in the finals!
